Fake A Smile

It's all I can do to keep it together

to remain smiling though my world is falling apart

I'm being torn, I'll never tell you how much it hurts

how much I'm hurting because you did something

I don't blame you, how can I it's not your fault

you didn't know, how could you know

I'll keep my smile on when you're around to hide it

I'll never let you know you hurt me

why would I, it'd only hurt you

I know you love me, that you care

I love you too, I care for you

you can ask me all you want I'll never tell you

I'd rather suffer it alone

Rather let it be me to hurt that hurt us both

I knew that a day would come when someone would take you away

I knew that day would be soon

I can't ask you to help

Would you even understand

What I'll never tell you
